rbig1 Posted August 10, 2013 #1 Posted August 10, 2013 well wife wants me to move her floor boards out about an inch if possible. is this possible and who makes them.
IronMike Posted August 10, 2013 #2 Posted August 10, 2013 Just get longer bolts and make your own spacers, Yamaha sells some chrome washers really thick. buy two inches worth, thats how they work, ask for an inch when they mean two.
Marcarl Posted August 10, 2013 #3 Posted August 10, 2013 Careful when you do that, you might find them getting in the way when you put your feet down and have to duck walk.
Bob Myers Posted August 10, 2013 #4 Posted August 10, 2013 They certainly will! They'll wear your ankles and lower leg out. Be more fun to have her stripe you with a weedeater on your legs than to be trying walk and those things trying to kick your legs out from under you. On my 87 I spaced them out 2", then after first ride and maneuver in garage I cut them down to 1". She never said anything about them being closer so I cut them down to ½".
djh3 Posted August 10, 2013 #5 Posted August 10, 2013 I have had pretty good luck making spacers out of alum tubing from one of the big hardware stores. Not sure that would work here as dont know how much pressure is actually on them. The washer route would work too. The big hardwar/lumber places have bins with all sorts of washers in SS and chrome and do dads and what nots. Also might try a tractor supply if you have those or up Wis was a farm and fleet. If you using say 3ea 5/16 washers I would glue them together or a piece of heat shrink to keep together.
